Omeial Declaration of his Troubles and
the Danger Besettlng his Life.
81. Petersburg, March 1.-the follow.
ing is the authorized official declaration
concerning the attempt upon the life OF
the czar: 1t is not believed that the ac-
tive society OF the constitutional party
has such an extensive and influential fol-
lowing as some foreign journals repre-
sent, The constltutionallsts, instead OF
being wholly distinct from the nihilists,
are nothing but the executors OF a milder
programme, cloaking the violent
methods OF nihillsm 30 as to secure o
certain amount OF federation from the
educated, thoughtful classes in Russia.
The czar's advisers are convinced from
long observation that the influential
classes in Russia do not consider that
the time has yet arrived in the political
| developments Of the empire for the IN
troduction of constitutional government
by his maieaty. Nor do the
pan-slavist party desire constitution
alism. On the contrary they declare that
an au~tocratic form Of government, tenn
pered by the Just enforcement of codi-
fed law, is desirable until Russian ter
ritoriAl expansion has reached the limits
! set for il by ~pRn-slavIst ideas. The state
OF socialism recently promoted in Ger.
